40th Anniversary!

October 18, 2016

Today (a day early) we celebrate 40 years at the mill! Here is Bev Hewes getting her corsage this morning, a tradition on the day we celebrate 10, 20, 25, 30, 35 year, and now for the first time this year… a 40 year employee!

In typical anniversary fashion we started off the morning with Mrs. Murphy’s donuts and coffee (our old morning spot when still in Manchester, VT), lunch prepared, “Vermontsters” for dessert, and a special presentation for employee milestones.

Charlie Curtis, celebrating 10 years (almost 11) at Manchester Wood.

Debbie Murphy, not in attendance, was honored with an antique block plane and plaque given to 20 year employees.

John Thomson, celebrating 25 years of dedicated service to Manchester Wood.

Bev Hewes, our one and only day one employee (Ed started 6 months after her). Celebrating 40 years at Manchester Wood.

We wouldn’t be anywhere without these fine folks, and the 40+ others (with half of them being with us 10+ years) at Manchester Wood. It’s because of them we produce the highest quality American made furniture. Thank them with us in the comment section below!
